Thanks for the response. I think I'm getting there. JBoss version is 4.2.3 on server in question.
For information on changing the default datasource, I used the Installation and Getting Started Guide. http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossas/freezone/docs/Installation_And_Getting_Started_Guide/5/pdf/Installation_And_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf Unfortunately, there's no mention of JMS in this document. I also referenced the following (and translated to Oracle) http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/SetUpAMysqlDatasource but must admit that I skipped the JMS part (as I was initially attempting to bring up jBoss without messaging, before I realized this would leave me without the admin consoles). I have since found: http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossas/freezone/docs/Administration_And_Configuration_Guide/5/html/alternative_DBs.html and more specifically http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossas/freezone/docs/Administration_And_Configuration_Guide/5/html/ch13s08s01.html I have followed the advice of these documents and replaced the hsqldb-jdbc2-service.xml with oracle-jdbc2-service.xml Note that the document you reference: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ConfigDefaultDSJBossMQDB is similar, but does not indicate that the oracle-jdbc2-service.xml must also be edited, changing OracleDS to DefaultDS (if the DefaultDS is redefined). If you don't make this change, which I initially missed, there are no database errors on startup, but the JMS_TRANSACTIONS and JMS_MESSAGES tables do not get created. Once this change is made, the startup looks the same from the log file, and the JMS_TRANSACTIONS and JMS_MESSAGES tables are created in Oracle. Of course, this is all for 4.2. I believe the change for 5.1 is simlar, but the file names and locations of the -service.xml files are different. Thanks, Bob.
